The episode started out so slow, though the guy continuously trying to hawk souvenirs was funny. Once the two teams hooked up and the episode got going, though... WOW, it blew me away! I love any time that Team Rocket and Team Twerp team up together, and this episode was definitely no exception. Ash and James dressing up as eggplants was hilarious, the Wobbuffet/Meowth/Jessie/May bit was hilarious (and I'm glad they found a funny dub substitute from what I saw in the Japanese episode guide on this site, because I knew they'd never dare say the V-word on an American cartoon), and Swellow's face when he found he just got Wobbuffet's wig was hilarious. Even the recycled Lugia music during the Meowth/Wobbuffet/May/Jessie scene wasn't that bad, because it really fit the scene.

Overall, 9.5/10, knocked down slightly because of the slow beginning. I'm happiest that not only was Wobbuffet the hero, he was actually ACKNOWLEDGED as the hero too (yay, Brock!).

Wait, so May said that Claydol would pick her because she was a virgin? I knew May said that the one who was sweet, innocent, and pure would be a fair maiden, but I didn't expect them to go THAT far with it. Knowing Jessie though, someone probably knocked her up by now.

This was a funny episode. It was basically "The ancient puzzle of Pokemopolis" only with humour this time. I love the exaggerrated anime expressions, such as James and Ash getting giant heads.

The fair maidens part was the best though. I wish the kimono scene was a little longer.

One of my favorite May lines in this episode, was when Claydol used psychic to pick her up because he didn't like her.

May: What? You're tossing me away?! You've got to be kidding me!

LOL! Veronica Taylor did May's voice perfectly for that line.

Also funny how Jessie slams into the ground when she gets thrown away yet Ash, Brock, and Max catch May as she lands on her butt. I guess May always gets the soft landings.

Too bad for Claydol, the #1 rule of anime is that you never pass on the hot pre-teen girls in nurse outfits.

I also liked it that Brock actually DID something important in this episode. His Lombre and Mudkip are what saved the day. Yay for Brock actually doing something of merit!

Okay, reasons why I loved this episode:
Wobbuffet doing something and being acknowledged
Wobby's reaction to being chased by the Claydol
Swellow's reaction to only getting Wobby's wig
May in the Nurses outfit
The Lugia song
Ash and James reactions after Claydol stomped the eggplant costumes
Flaaffy was the Trainer's choice
TR's reactions to Claydol using rapid spin

My Rating:
9.5/10 and one of the best fillers ever.

Oh yeah and it sucks that Manene, Manyula, and Rukario were removed from the intro. Oh well maybe they will change it back once they decide to actually reveal them formally outside of Japan

A very good episode it reminds me of the Kanto episode "The Ancient Puzzle of Pokemopolis." in that it has giant Pokemon that may not actually be Pokemon. Very funny seeing Ash and James dress up as Eggplants then almost get stomped on. May really looked beautiful dressed up as a Priestess then as Nurse Joy (reminded me of when Misty dressed up.), though I was surprised to Wobbuffet up their instead of Ash since he's dressed up as a girl twice already and seems to enjoy it.

My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"

This episode was simply hilarious. I laughed when the old man misread the book. And Ash being an eggplant to distract the Claydol was pretty funny. And when the Claydol thought Wobbufet was that girl was pretty cool. There should be more episodes where Ash and co and Team Rocket work together

*We'll be comin' 'round the mountain, then we'll crash!
We'll be comin' 'round the mountain, then we'll crash!...*

Other than Jessie vs. Seviper, that is the funniest Team Rocket moment I remember from Hoenn. I had to chuckle when I saw May in that nurse's outfit, but I had to laugh when the giant Claydol went after Wobbuffet. Ash's Swellow's look of shock when it saw that it had grabbed only Wobbuffet's maiden wig was notably hilarious, as well, as were Ash and James' looks of horror as the giant Claydol stomped on their eggplant costumes. In terms of Pok&#233;-comedy, this episode would rank high on my list.

Babylon 5, Codename: Kids Next Door, 24, and now, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I am many things at once, and many people might have different opinions about little, old me. If freedom is my main idea, then harmony, individuality, and modernization are the three attributes I now sense and track. Those three attributes and that idea combined to make the United States of America a great global superpower and Pearlshipping and Wishfulshipping great Pokémon couples, and now, they've combined to make those four shows truly great television programs to me. I will enjoy enthusiastically supporting the Equestrian ponies' adventures for peace, for humankind, for the future.

Rofl. It was a funny episode during some parts. The part with Wobbuffet dressed up as a maiden was hilarious since Team Rocket are usually the ones to crossdress and having their Pokemon do it is 100 times funnier. I also like how Claydol was so large, compared to it's actual size. It was like the Gengar and Alakazam in that Kanto episode. 8/10 for the laughs.
